Booked Your Cruise Directly With the Cruise Line? You Can Still Get Personalized Service.
You found the perfect itinerary, picked your cabin, and booked your cruise directly with the cruise line. Easy enough, right?
Then the questions start.
Should you purchase the drink package?
Is the internet package worth it?
When should you book shore excursions?
Do you need travel insurance?
What documents are required?
How do you arrange transfers, hotels, and flights?
What happens if your itinerary changes?
If you're feeling like you could use a cruise expert in your corner, there's good news: you may be able to transfer your existing cruise reservation to She Sails Travel and enjoy the benefits of working with a personal travel advisor—without having to cancel and rebook your cruise.
What Is a Booking Transfer (or "Takeover Booking")?
Many cruise lines allow guests who booked directly with them to transfer their reservation to a travel advisor within a certain timeframe after booking.
This process, often called a booking transfer or takeover booking, allows your reservation to remain intact while moving management of the booking to a travel advisor.
That means your cruise, cabin selection, pricing, and reservation number typically stay the same, but you gain a dedicated travel professional who can help guide you through the planning process.

How to Transfer Your Cruise Booking
The process is often simple:
Contact She Sails Travel.
Provide your reservation details.
We will confirm whether your cruise line allows transfers and whether your booking is eligible.
Complete the required transfer form.
Once approved, She Sails Travel becomes your travel advisor for the reservation.
Please note that each cruise line has its own policies and transfer deadlines, so it's best to reach out as soon as possible after booking.
Is Your Booking Eligible?
Many major cruise lines allow transfers, but eligibility requirements vary. Some cruise lines require the transfer to occur within a limited number of days after the original booking and before final payment.
If you're unsure whether your reservation qualifies, we can help review your booking and explain your options.

If you've already booked your cruise, you don't have to miss out on the value of working with a travel advisor.
A booking transfer allows you to keep the cruise you've chosen while gaining the personalized support, expertise, and advocacy that can make your vacation smoother and more enjoyable.
At She Sails Travel, we believe every traveler deserves a knowledgeable partner before, during, and after their cruise.
